DNP announced today that they will no longer make media for the venerable photo printer made by Sony - the UPDR150. Superseded by the Sony UPDR200 and then the DNP DS40, the Sony UPDR150 has a reputation as a real workhorse - a little slow and heavy by today's standards but a reliable workhorse. It has graced the pages Shutterbug magazine, the photo kiosks of Kinko's all over the US and has been a regular at events, parties and malls with Santa Clause for years.
Unlike what you may have heard, read or seen on the web, there is no reason to panic if you still use this printer. While DNP is no longer making the media, the company still has quite a bit of inventory in their US warehouse. Additionally, here at Imaging Spectrum's we are carrying a 2-3 month supply in our warehouse. We also have a great deal on repackaged media for the Sony UPDR150 - you can save up to $59 on a box of 4x6 and up to $119 on a box of 5x7. Read more here. If your UPDR150 has finally called it quits and you want something similar we have a great deal on refurbished Sony UPDR200 photo printers.

I ordered this printer last year for an event with Santa. I wanted to print instant. I printed 4x6s. It was very fast and easy to use the email feature also. The choice was 4x6 prints or a digital image emailed. I had to turn my camera to Med instead of Large files (24MP) so the emails would send out. No problems with that. The colors on the prints are great. I am planning on buying another 620A printer to offer 5x7 prints along with 4x6 prints from the first printer. The software that I purchased to compliment this printer is Darkroom Core. It works perfect together. I also print instant at Proms, Homecoming Dance and other events. I will never go back to the old way, once the prints are printed, I am done with that event and dont have to return to deliver the prints. I would HIGHLY recommend this printer. Call Imaging Spectrum, they can let you know all the info on this printer. Worth every penny!!
